During quarantine, I’ve been trying to spend time outside each day. I watch the squirrels, listen to the birds, and commune with nature. Actually, I’m mainly getting out so that I don’t completely lose it being stuck in the house most of the time. Lately, though, I’ve also been watching my husband. Before I get […]

During this quarantine, I’ve discovered a lot about my husband. Like if he could, he’d work from home forever. Or how he likes sitting on the front porch to watch hummingbirds just as much as I do. Oh, and he’s cheating on me. But it’s not what you think: it’s not with another woman (or […]

As a writer, I have a big problem. It’s not writer’s block. (Sometimes it is, but we won’t tempt the fates by talking about it.) It’s not thinking about what to discuss at the water cooler. (I work from home, and my dogs can’t talk…yet.) It’s not even trying to figure out what outfits I’ll […]

I’m a morning person. I’m not exactly sure when this happened because I have clear memories of my Mom having to do everything short of setting off a bomb in my room to get me up when I was in high school. Now, I tend to wake up between 5 and 5:30… Yes, that’s A.M. […]

I was looking on Facebook over the weekend, and a friend of mine shared a photo from a store she was in. All you could see were lighted and decorated Christmas trees. You read that correctly. And it wasn’t in a Christmas store.

Regular readers of this column are familiar with our dogs who, until Riley the Wonder Dog, preferred to go by pseudonyms to protect their privacy. Snoopy was actually named Scooby, Steve was really Rascal, and our sweet girl Rose was really named Daisy. Four years ago, Scooby passed. Rascal followed a little over two […]

When we envision the holiday season, we tend to think of beautiful, twinkling lights, sumptuous meals shared with family and friends, and days filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you’re stuck in a Normal Rockwell painting, that’s exactly what it’s like. While the holidays have a ton of great times, let’s face it—it’s […]
